Hello all! –bear with me, this might be long-

I know a lot of you have heard by the grace of God that I am much better. We appreciate all of your prayers and support over the past week. I am doing so well that after the surgery or on Sunday I asked if I could go home. I guess because I let it slip about having double vision, that they decided to keep an eye on me for a couple more days. They should of told me to get up and start walking and I would of probably been discharged on my 2nd day after my surgery. Silly me, I had to figure this out. I started walking and Monday I walked all over the hospital and visited with everyone involved in helping me the week before. I thanked them, gave them hugs and shared my appreciation for their care while I was sick. When I returned to my room, my vision cleared up and I realized that my blood just had to get moving for my vision to repair.

It's been an awesome week!!! I came to the understanding that God's will was best for me when this whole thing began… I understood the reality of my situation at the beginning and then just took things one step at a time from that moment on. Things didn't totally make sense to me but I just knew His will would be best, even if it meant I wasn't going to make it through this whole ordeal. Now, what I didn't realize before the surgery that I realize now is that – WOW! -- I AM FULL OF ENERGY!! Evidently the condition of my previous shunt increased my fatigue level much higher over the past year. Now, I can't even close my eyes and go to sleep anymore!!! What an adrenaline rush! I am so energetic compared to where I was, just another great reason I am grateful for this recent challenge.

Now, I have been told I look like Bruce Willis, with my shaved head, and if I grew a goatee, I could make an impression. I have never had a goatee before so it would be kinda funny to go back to work with a bad look about me, and having a few scars on the back of my head I am sure I could raise a few eyebrows…LOL

But the main reason I wanted to make this post was to share with y'all how much it means to me that my wife has friends like you that have given her support this past week. I have read the posts from all of you and I am amazed at the support system you have here on iVillage. We are very blessed and especially blessed to have friends like you.

Thank you

Kyle

Kyle,


you are an amazing person, and you and Desiree are so lucky to have found each other. I am so happy for you, and so grateful that you pulled through your surgery with such speed that you did, and that you are well on your way to recovery. I agree, the power of prayer & faith can do amazing things! I can't wait to hear all the fun things you and your beautiful wife and kids do in the future with all your new energy!


As far as us supporting Desiree, what we did for her over the last week or so has been NOTHING compared to the support that she has shown me over the last 3 years. I am so grateful to have found this board and to have found your wife!


Bless you and your family!!!!!

I'm so glad your doing so well!!! And I, personally, like the Bruce Willis look. But that's just me ; )

It was my privilege to support Desiree when she needed it. I know she would do and has done the same for me. This board is lucky to have her and she is one of the reasons it's the best one in iVil. Thanks for being so supportive of the time she spends with us, we're lucky to have her.
